Geraldo Rivera Comes Under Fire In Libya (VIDEO)

Fox News' Geraldo Rivera was caught in the crossfire in Libya on Sunday, when rebel forces and the Libyan military started attacking each other.

Rivera's cameras caught him running for cover as the sound of continuous weapon fire could be heard in the background. He said on Sunday's "Fox and Friends" that he had feared for his life, and was "as worried about getting shot in the back by the good guys as I was getting shot in the front by the Gaddafi forces." He also said that the experience made him opposed to any arming of the rebel forces by the U.S. or NATO.

"I swear to god, if you give these people weapons more powerful than they have right now, they will be a grave danger to themselves and others," he said. "They don't know how to use these weapons."

I think his camera crew was really trying to frag him.

He was just jealous of Richard Engel's artillery attack vid, so was trying to duplicate it.

A staged b-movie version of reality.

Shouldn't that headline more accurately have read "Geraldo Rivera HAS HIMSELF VIDEOTAPED AS HE Comes Under Fire In Libya"?

Exactly, I bet it will be revealed that this was all staged. What an embarrassment he is.

I agree. He was a fake and an embarrassment during his Iraq stage. This one was the icing on the cake on how fake he was and is.

What a cartoon Geraldo... I watch him sometimes for the amazing Rococoness of his over-coiffed crew... like Kimberly Guilfoyle, and that sex therapist he has on...

Geraldo gets shot at by terrorists, apparently with terrible shooting skills.

Proof, again, that the terrorists are not on our side.

Smells like torro-kaka;

Under attack and all the camera man can do is focus on Geraldo?

Either CYA or get footage of the attackers; the natural instinct when under fire is to take cover not point the camera at some egotestical duuuuuuuuuche.

I saw footage of this yesterday where Greetardo was walking behind the a pickup supposedly under fire, as the pickup was pulling away........yeah...uhhh uhh..

Saw it live, last night.
And if it's proven to be fake, I would NOT be surprised.

Like him or not we need more joros getting into it like Geraldo. The AlJazeera coverage smokes the big networks!

This is not the first time he has turned tail and, then gone on television and bragged about how macho he thinks he is-I used to think he had lowered himself by being on fox-now I think he is right at home there!
